Comment 4 for bug 998435

Alon,

 I tested F16 and W7. Installs attempted via VIrtManager (spice/qx l, spice/vga) poped up black screen for ever.
F17 (beta) requires several minutes to activate SPICE/QXL install window, and behaves same way during runtime.
Any Spice-Gtk build mentioned in #1 does it in few seconds doing F17 (beta) install ( runtime).

   As wrote MikeB ( view https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/seabios/+bug/823494)
just spice/cirrus work for install and runtime in case of W7.

    I also believe there is an issue in spice-gtk 0.9 build via Debian Unstable.
 It has nothing to do with spice enabled qemu version.

All my spice-gtk builds for ubuntu 12.04 mentioned in #1 are done in different way and work fine.

Thanks,
Boris
